We’re ideally looking for someone with:
- hospitality, coffee shop, bar, or restaurant experience
- a strong attention to detail
- a positive, guest-focused personality
- flexibility with evenings and weekends

Experience with POS systems is a plus.
What Makes This Different
This isn’t a typical restaurant job.
At UpNorth Social, we focus on:
- elevated charcuterie experiences
- curated gatherings & events
- creative food presentation
- a welcoming, high-quality guest experience
Our events and catering side of the business is growing quickly, so this role has the opportunity to evolve beyond just summer for the right person.
